Russian Diplomats

Main opposition New Democracy on Tuesday criticised the government's handling of the affair that culminated in the expulsion of two Russian diplomats, especially its failure to brief parliament on the details.

Russian government allegations that Greece's expulsion of two Russian diplomats and the denial of entry to two Russian citizens was influenced by the United States are "groundless", Greek diplomatic sources said on Friday.

Greek diplomats on Wednesday commented on recent Greek media reports claiming the government has decided to expel Russian diplomats over national security issues, in statements to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) on Wednesday.
